Florida Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. Generally, these claims are filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. This representative files on behalf of the estate and the surviving family members, such as spouses, children, parents, or other relatives who were dependents.

If no personal representative was named in the decedent’s will or estate plan, the court will appoint one.

Damages that may be available in wrongful death claim can include:

• Medical expenses incurred prior to the death that caused the death
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Lost earnings that would have been accrued if the decedent had lived
• Loss of companionship, guidance, and protection for family members
• Loss of support or services that the decedent would have provided for family members

These claims are based on proven negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm that resulted in your loved one’s death. An example would be a drunk driver who hit and killed another person due to his impaired and intoxicated state.
